Kreisler review...

"With the excitement of an impending presidential election, it's a great time to see an American political comic, and you'll struggle to find better than Jeff Kreisler. With slick and witty poise he mixes wry observation on current affairs with quirky bouts of surrealism to create a politically charged set, without a hint of the pedagogical habits that can so often be the downside of political stand-up...."The most commendable thing about Kreisler is that his routine - even his George W. Bush stuff - manages to feel new and fresh in an area of comedy overrun with formulaic material."- * * * * Three Weeks
